Masturbation is a touchy issue when approached from a religious point of view. The answers given by major religions to the question,"Is masturbation wrong?" vary wildly depend…ing on their belief systems. The following questions and answers examine how different religions feel about self-stimulation, particularly whether they think masturbation is wrong.The Biblical story of Onan and the spilling of his seed on the ground is often cited as a condemnation of masturbation, but the story actually deals with coitus interruptus. Masturbation in and of itself is not directly addressed by the Bible. Catholicism frowns upon masturbation as it employs the reproductive organs outside of the act of reproduction, as does the Eastern Orthodox church. Views among Protestant sects vary, with more conservative sects considering masturbation an invitation to lust and other sects considering it an outlet for sexual desires that should be used to avoid adultery and other more serious sins.The Buddhist take on masturbation is situational, depending on a Buddhist's level of devotion. Monks and nuns are expected to abandon masturbation along with other worldly pleasures. Masturbation is not considered sexual misconduct according to Buddhist tenets and is perceived as an outlet for generally practicing Buddhists to avoid more serious misconduct. However, being overly fixated on masturbation is considered straying from the Middle Path.In Hinduism, the seeking of sensual pleasure is one of the four objectives of human life. Because of this, Hindus are free regarding all aspects of sexuality, including masturbation. However, those observing vows of celibacy are expected to avoid masturbation.Judaism is against the spilling of seed, regardless of the act in which it occurs. This makes masturbation a sin in the eyes of most aspects of the Jewish faith, though more liberal sects are more relaxed regarding masturbation. Female masturbation, despite the lack of spilled seed, is frowned upon as it requires fantasizing about men and thus falls under the category of forbidden thoughts.Generally, Islam only allows masturbation in cases where sexual desire is so overwhelming, not masturbating would lead to a breach of faith to one's spouse or other unwholesome undertakings. Shi'ites forbid masturbation altogether, seeing one's sexual organs as a domain shared only by a person and their spouse simultaneously. Sunnis have four different views on the subject depending on which school of jurisprudence a Sunni belongs, ranging from full prohibition to circumstantial permission. Sufis mostly avoid the matter of masturbation, but allow it as a safety valve for sexual desires to enable further focus on internal transformation.As seen here, masturbation is not always considered a great evil by the world's largest established religions. More orthodox beliefs engender less permissive stances on the practice and generally forbid it. Modern and liberal clergy are willing to ignore masturbation so long as it does not violate the sanctity of marriage or otherwise compromise a believer's faith.For many people around the world, it's important to have and follow religious teachings about various topics, including masturbation. What makes this particular subject so complex is the cognitive dissonance that is created when a person's actions don't match their beliefs. From a psychological standpoint, this is one area that religious zealots are better off leaving up to the individual.(MORE)

Criminal psychologists look for answers by analyzing a criminal's past experiences, past behavior, upbringing, childhood, and brain chemistry.Criminal psychologists must complete post-baccalaureate course work to pursue this career path. Though some practitioners can find work with a master's degree in criminal psychology, most employed in the industry have a doctorate. Criminal psychologists have either a Ph.D. or a Psy.D. in clinical forensic psychology. These two advanced degrees differ slightly. A Ph.D. prepares a criminal psychologist to conduct research and teach. A Psy.D. is the clinical degree focused on real-world practice, considered a doctor of psychology. This is the most common degree path for criminal psychologists. Licensing requirements in most states require a doctoral degree.Work environments for criminal psychologists vary depending on their specialty.

Potential criminal psychologists should weigh these things carefully before embarking on the long academic road required.A man named Schrenck-Notzing is accepted by many as the world's first forensic/criminal psychologist.

But… is a career in criminal psychology really that exciting?

Job openings are more plentiful for doctoral candidates.Salaries for criminal psychologists can vary depending on where they work and their work experience. The national average income for a professional in the criminal psychology sector ranges dramatically from $33,000 per year to $103,000 per year.

At the federal government and non-profit level, incomes for criminal psychologists are lower.Criminal psychologists typically work in office or court settings. A considerable amount of time is dedicated to interviewing offenders, researching the life history of criminals, and providing expert testimony in the courtroom. Criminal profilers can be employed in a variety of vocations. Some work with local, state, or federal government, while others are self-employed or are independent consultants. Furthermore, others may opt to teach at the university level.One of the most important points to consider is the potential for dealing with disturbed individuals and challenging work situations.

In the 1890s, Dr. Bond, a police surgeon, performed the autopsy on Mark Kelly (Jack the Ripper's last victim). From the autopsy, he deduced that the man had lacked the scientific and anatomical knowledge of a surgeon or butcher. In an attempt to understand what had occurred, he reconstructed the murder and tried to interpret the behavioral pattern of the assailant.(MORE)

A term that is thrown about quite often in the gay marriage debate is "civil union." This term is seen by some as a fair compromise in the debate and by others as an inferior …arrangement that discriminates against couples of the same sex. Legally, however, the term refers to a specific arrangement that comes with specific rights and privileges that differ from those of marriage. Use the information below to learn more about the definition of civil union.A civil union is a legal recognition of a committed romantic relationship between two people. This legal recognition comes from a particular governmental body and provides certain rights and privileges to that couple. Civil unions have been created for same sex couples in some states that do not yet allow for same-sex marriage. These rights and privileges include some of but not all of the rights and privileges that are granted to married couples. Therefore, civil unions are a source of debate regarding whether or not they provide an inferior arrangement for same sex couples.Civil unions are established on a state-by-state basis. Currently, there are six states that have established civil unions. These states are Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. Typically, civil unions are not recognized in other states, nor are they recognized federally.There are a number of differences between civil unions and marriage. For instance, as mentioned above, civil unions, though they provide rights and privileges very similar to those of marriage, do not provide everything that marriage provides. For instance, civil unions are not generally recognized from state to state. Therefore, a couple joined in a civil union in one state may find their relationship is not recognized by the government of another state to which they move. In addition, civil unions may be ended without legal action. Finally, civil unions, because they are a product of the states, do not provide any of the federal benefits that are available to married couples.Civil unions are available to both same sex and different sex couples. However, they were founded specifically to offer some protections and privileges to same sex couples. They are also used primarily by same sex couples who cannot marry in their state of residence. Therefore, though they are available to different sex couples, they are usually perceived primarily as an option for same sex couples.Civil unions are a legal recognition of a couple's relationship that resembles but differs from marriage.

Use the information above to learn more about the definition of civil unions.In the United States, civil unions first made an appearance in 2000. In that year, Vermont established civil unions as a way for same sex couples to get their relationships legally recognized without getting married.
